@goatsarah I'm not sure that's real as I have a close trans friend who is good friends with Coles and AFAIK he's not transphobic. Did you see the source?
@cstross Not only women/genderqueer people but disabled academics/students need this stuff too.
There needs to be: * Information about what trips actually entail so people can plan access. * Supportive culture where people are allowed to have needs that differ from one another. * Clear ways to ask and get specific stuff. * Sharing what might work (Karen Darke for example is paraplegic but still did & does geology and other 'extreme' environment trips post-injury https://www.karendarke.com/)
@cstross I work with disabled students and I've tried (and often failed) to get trip-leaders to give clear advance info and consider ways to adjust things.
One occasion, despite extensive discussions about distance/terrain in advance, a disabled student of mine was left sat for 3 hours on their own sat on a rock cos the terrain was not as described & therefore inaccessible. We'd have hired a specialist wheelchair or done a different thing IF the leader hadn't lied to me/student.
ICQ vs Teams. So very true. I'm probably going to have to get a new work computer with days of reconfig cos so much is not saved properly in our profiles cos Teams just Cannot Cope and is eating 97% of the RAM constantly even when not in a video call.
Image now ALT texted. I thought it was described but re-seeing my boost in timeline the image wasn't described, so can only assume I was having a stupid last night and you get this post instead.
@KaraLG84@GreenSkyOverMe Altho I have seen posts of an animal sitting quietly, but that could be dog people putting dogs in everything, the sort of people who use the Caturday hashtag for dogs...
I am a deaf and disabled cis bi woman living in the UK. I am interested in disability rights practice and law, assistive technology, cats (always cats) and I am fuelled by lots of tea.My profile picture is a red lizard for no reason other than I like it.
